A ten-year reflection on the UK child sexual abuse scandals highlights the troubling racial dynamics involved, notably the targeting of predominantly white girls by predominantly Pakistani male offenders, which some experts attribute to perceived cultural attitudes within certain communities. In a separate case in France, a husband is accused of facilitating the rape of his wife by 51 men over a decade, with defendants claiming they felt victimized themselves, while a judge emphasized the clear instructions given to them. South African survivor Alison Botha shared her harrowing experience of surviving a brutal rape and stabbing, using her story to inspire others after her attackers were sentenced to life in prison. In Sydney, four men were convicted of gang-raping a woman who had met one of them on Tinder, with the jury rejecting the defense's claim of consent despite the woman expressing her fear and resistance. The cases reflect broader issues of gender-based violence, cultural perceptions, and systemic failures in safeguarding vulnerable individuals. Collectively, these incidents underscore the urgent need for societal change and improved protection for victims of sexual violence.
